I am modelling the micro-model of masonry in Abaqus. The brick-mortar interface is modelled as surface interactions. What is the range of the contact stiffness(N/mm3) for the brick-mortar interface?

Check Abaqus Analysis User's Manual:
http://www.ilsb.tuwien.ac.at/v6.10/books/usb/default.htm
Interactions->Contact Formulations and Numerical Methods->Penalty (Section 34.1.2).
You can also define the contact stiffness by your self and choose the higher contact stiffness for which the contact algorithm can still converge.
